| Quite a cool, drizzly day - thank God! |
Last night we had
planned to go to dinner at Squido’s. They
have two restaurants; one near the beach in El Nido, one on the hill, with,
apparently, fabulous views and a sensational seafood curry. On Friday Pete spoke to Honor, one of the
spruikers, who was very keen for us to have a Valentines Day dinner there the
follow night. So…we turned up at about 6pm
to ask where to go for the hilltop festivities and the very same man/woman,
blinked at Pete and said, “But the hilltop restaurant is not available. It is fully booked, for a wedding.”

So…where to go for
a lovely dinner?? Well, the Art Café,
again, of course. We met some very nice
French people, Anne and Claude, from Brittany, who were having a two-week Philippine
holiday. They were thrilled to meet
Tasmanians – their son had had a wonderful time in Hobart when he had a gap
year in Australia. He was wildly
enthusiastic, and said people were so very kind and hospitable.

Between our two
tables was the very fattest, glossiest restaurant cat ever. Entirely white, with a black tail. No pitiful begging under the table – the Art
Café people are animal lovers! Go there!

This morning we
left El Nido at the crack of dawn, heading for Coron (Busuanga.) We didn’t quite get that far – it is a very
long way – but we did get to the lovely sheltered bay near the Busuanga Yacht
Club, where we stayed for a few days when we first arrived in these parts in
September last year.

Still so pretty,
with slightly crazy architecture.
And a lovely
gentle sunset.
SV Anticipation,
the boat moored near us, from Hamilton Island, has been here for two years… It
is being lovingly cared for but…the
owner is missing, out of contact! He is
a lone sailor, Alan, with a big bushy beard, a mining engineer who has been
working in Indonesia. If anyone knows
where he is, or what his surname is…maybe he would like to be in contact??
Not sure if we
will stay here for a few more days. It
is very nice here but…no phone!!
Emergency calls only. I would
very much like to phone home, like ET…
